From as early as I can remember I would be glued to the TV set for all the animal series or films that were being shown. I have fond memories of watching Skippy the kangaroo, Boomer, Flipper, and the Littlest Hobo but my all time favourite animal hero/heroine has to be Lassie.
Lassie is the most adorable, intelligent collie dog I have ever seen. I love the way the humans who appear in the films and TV shows were easily out shone by the main star.
The trials and tribulations the poor dog went through over the years were amazing. People would get stuck in a cave and Lassie would make her way to the nearest human who would of course know exactly what she was saying when she barked at them.
In Lassie come home she is sold to help pay for food and rent but missing her master she walks through the whole of Scotland and part of England to be reunited with him.
The other Lassie films all share similar story lines but don’t be deterred by this if you can find one to hire or see one advertised make sure you either tape it or hire it and it will become a family favourite filled with all the drama, humour, romance and emotion you could wish for.
The loyalty and companionship shared between Lassie and her owners is truly humbling. If only life was like films Eh.
